Currents are always present. Their location changes constantly during the year. The current next to the rocks is ALWAYS present. The water is deeper and most of the time there is no surf. It is the most dangerous place to swim. To know where the safe swimming places are, may be as important as, if not more important, than to try to escape from a current later. When the sea is rough the deeper waves may be gigantic. Something that you have never seen or experienced closely.

Do not swim near the rocks. It may look calm and clear and lovely to swim, but if your feet loose grip on the sand the current takes you down-stream.

Avoid areas where the waves do NOT roll uniformly and smoothly towards you. The best is where the surf is white and rolling in smooth parallel lines towards you.

If there are no lifesaver and flags on the beach, find your own beacon. A beacon is a dune, umbrella or the roof of a house to prevent you from slowly moving nearer to the currents. Look back every few minutes to see if you stay in line with your beacon. If there are flags on the beach look back every few minutes to see that you stay between the flags.​
